Summary
Republicans’ efforts to portray Elon Musk as a MAGA martyr are failing, as his victim narrative struggles to resonate with conservative audiences.
Musk’s controversial statements and perceived elitism, including his complaints of being targeted by Democrats, have alienated even right-wing supporters.
Protests and vandalism against Tesla have damaged the brand, and Musk’s ties to Trump have hurt the Trump’s approval ratings, especially on economic issues.
Attempts to rally sympathy for Musk, including his emotional Fox News appearance, have largely backfired.
Something tells me the ones who think they’d be in charge would be quickly disappeared in theses “self regulating” “cities”.
Also, who do they think is going to move there? Do they believe liberals will gladly join their psycho future vision? The maga people are already against cities in general. They’ll never move to one…… so who do these people think will live/work/support their cities???
I could be bought with a walkable downtown, commitment to the highest public education standards, affordable and accessible medical care, affordable housing, net zero buildings, xeriscaping, high speed rail, internet fiber everywhere, extensive parks and nature areas, diverse people and cultural events, shops and restaurants, and an effective technology supported town hall government …… and a good brewpub.
The tech bros are supporting all that, right? Right?
Their plan only works if the masses are desperate enough to move to their territory. That’s why their plan starts with dismantling the current economy and institutions. Then they can say “come live and work in TeslandTM where there are jobs and opportunities” but where you have to use TeslabucksTM to buy everything.
To be fair liberals probably would join with how useless they are.
Chuck will lead the way
